5 ridiculous bets being placed on Usher's Super Bowl 2024 Halftime show

Usher is set to perform in the Super Bowl 2024 Halftime show in Las Vegas and keeping with the host city's charm, there are myriad bets being placed on what might happen during his performance. It was not so long ago that the NFL was speaking out against gambling but it has since embraced it as betting has become commonplace. And wagers are not just limited to the game but with the entertainment associated with it as well.

Some of the bets are more mundane centered around the likes of number of songs Usher will sing and what his first and last melodies will be.
